Mango Fried Rice

                  Mango Fried Rice 

My dish is inspired by famous Pineapple Fried Rice and it came out very well. Thai fried rice is made of Jasmine rice but here I used leftover Basmati Rice. Forgot to add fried cashew though,  yet it was so yummy 😋. 

It is believed that this dish originated from Chinese people living in Thailand. They noticed that many Thai dishes include fruits as an ingredient and they tried adding pineapple to fried rice. It became very popular with both the Thai people and Westerners.

Thai pineapple fried rice is probably one of the most famed dishes that comes to mind when the topic of food in Thailand comes to mind. This dish is popularly served within the husk of the pineapple fruit, usually with the country’s freshest pineapples and shrimps as well.

Interestingly, in Singapore, Thai pineapple fried rice is also a common choice for many when it comes to ordering buffets for special occasions or formal events. It is a dish that is both sweet and savoury in taste – its sweetness derived from the fresh pineapple fruit and its savoury tastes from the shrimp paste and fish sauce, thus enabling it to appeal to the taste buds of many. It is also one of the best rice dishes to cook that fully utilizes the local ingredients found within the Southeast Asian regions.

I cooked it like regular fried rice and when done, added sour 🥭  which retained some sweetness too.

Served with cucumber 🥒 and onion.
